Inhale the still september air and
draw the static from between our lips.
Stoke the embers with the harvest
of frail blown kisses, gone amiss.
(For fuck sake.)
Blot the stars in sapphire and ash,
they have never held a candle
to the gleam of flame on blue eyes
through fogged glass, glossed with tears and wax.
(It never came.)
She licked the decay from my teeth
and smothered the fire in my loin.
Side by side, glistening in spent lust
triumphant and beat all the same.
(Let it go.)
Beyond the guiling spell of autumn
chanting pine cracks and maple smoke.
Even the proud fool grows weary
of November frosts' crystal cloak.

When time wears thin.
Throw my bones to the hounds of hell
and bleach my dim memory
in the brine of the sea of time.
Please bid me no farewell.
and for you , I swear.
I'll do the same.
